Le Coq Sportif

Le Coq Sportif

It starts in 1882 with the opening of a little hosiery store in Romilly-sur-Seine, in a part of the Champagne region called the Aube. Emile Camuset, the man who opened that store, loved sports with a fierce passion. When he started making sports jersey in his small workshop, he probably never dreamed that, 130 years later, Le Coq Sportif would become one of the world’s most prestigious brands, renowned for its clothing, footwear and sporting equipment.

One hundred thirty years of experience gives us a uniquely authentic place in the market. From the start Le Coq Sportif has created products primarily for sportsmen. This inspired them, but it also challenged Le Coq Sportif. Meeting those challenges remains at the heart of their product philosophy today. That’s what sets Le Coq Sportif apart, and has since the brand’s beginnings.

Le Coq Sportif’s products have a simple, almost timeless quality. It’s a fundamental part of the brand’s heritage. It makes them who they are.
